When system cheat becomes rampant!-Chapter 480 - 362: Jianmu

"Why do we need to patrol the archive room? Who would be so bored as to steal from the archive bureau? If you ask me, it wouldn’t even matter if we didn’t come here for a year."

Zhou Guan lazily cradled his head in his hands, following behind Sun Zhong. He wasn’t very interested in the job, and he grumbled all the way.

After reaching the third floor, Sun Zhong patrolled past a series of rooms.

[You have patrolled the N-level Talent Inspection Department, patrol points +2]

[You have patrolled the N-level Talent Dispatch Department, patrol points +2]

…

Sun Zhong circled twice around the empty room with care, then pressed a button on the wall to ensure the alarm was working correctly before leaving the room.

[You have patrolled the main archive room entrance, patrol points +5]

But just then, Zheng Xing thought of something, hurriedly pulled out his phone to video call his son, and asked, "Son, last time you said you saw Xiang Beifei, look at this person, is it Xiang Beifei?"

During the new student competition, although students from the major elite schools weren’t present, the event was broadcast live. Anyone with eyesight could recognize him.

Although Zheng Xing’s son was a student of Jizhou University, he had seen Xiang Beifei before. The moment he saw Xiang Beifei, he excitedly said, "It’s him! It’s him! The genius who stepped on the SSR from Qingzhou University! Dad, you actually met him? Oh my God!"

That was a legendary genius!

"You really are that Xiang Beifei!" Zheng Xing was also stunned.

His son had mentioned the new student competition to him before he came home for the holiday, and back then he was also amazed by Xiang Beifei. He never expected that today he would coincidentally meet such an incredible talent!

Sometime later, he quickly came back to his senses, excitedly saying, "He’s definitely Xiang Beifei, my son is from Jizhou University, he’s seen him before!"

Xiang Beifei put the matter aside for the moment and asked, "By the way, Uncle Kong, are there any houses for rent nearby? We want to move over."

"A house? Of course, it’s about time you moved here, the old man has always been saying he wants to save money for you to do tasks and things. How come you suddenly changed your mind?" Kong Daming asked.

"Xiaofei has grown up, the house is too shabby, and he won’t be able to find a wife," Xiang Qingde said seriously.

"Hahaha, that’s true," Kong Daming nodded.

But Lu Hong disagreed, "How could that be! If she really likes him, she wouldn’t care about the house."

"Still, it’s better to live in a nice place. The old house was a bit too dark," Kong Daming said, "Leave it to me. I remember there’s a family that moved out on my floor, just two doors down from my place, directly across the street. Moving over would be good, it’ll be easier to look after each other."

"Then, when is Uncle Kong’s restaurant planning to reopen?" Xiang Beifei asked again.

The appearance of the One-Armed Crab, a desolate beast, was still unexplained, and Xiang Beifei currently had no leads on one person he suspected.

Xiao Sheng!

The one disguised as an N-level employee, an SR, the day before the desolate beast appeared, disappeared without a trace, and he wanted to see if Xiao Sheng would return to work.

"Day after tomorrow! The staff have been asking about it too. Speaking of which, I need to contact them; we’ve been closed for so long," Kong Daming said.

"Then I’ll go to the wholesale market tomorrow. We’ve been cut off from food supplies, I need to talk with them again," Xiang Qingde said.

Kong Daming quickly responded, "No need, Uncle Xiang, you rest. I’ll handle it."

"We’ve been idle for so long; a little movement won’t hurt. I’m familiar with the place anyway. Reopening, there’s a lot of work to be done in the restaurant, and many customers have made reservations, waiting for us to open so they can support us. You’ll be busy enough. I can go tomorrow," Xiang Qingde insisted, waving his hand.

Unable to persuade him otherwise, Kong Daming had to agree.

When Xiang Beifei returned home, he purposely held a conversation with his grandfather in front of the living room’s surveillance camera, clarifying the reasons for his move and directly stating that he could now earn money and no longer wished to live there.

For a Meridian Opening phase cultivator, earning a living is not at all challenging. The person surveilling their home, as long as not foolish, would surely understand Xiang Beifei’s current Cultivation Realm after a simple inquiry at the school; no one would doubt such an excuse.

With this, the other party would probably move on to the new house. Xiang Beifei wanted to see who would dare to secretly install a surveillance camera under his watch.

After saying this, Xiaohei then disabled the camera again.

The grandfather and grandson packed up their belongings together that evening; surprisingly, they had quite a few items at home.

"We need to call for a vehicle. Without an elevator, we’ll have to carry everything down together," Xiang Qingde was considering the most convenient way to move.

"I can handle the items by myself, Grandpa needn’t worry, just rest on the side," said Xiang Beifei.

"How can that be? You can’t possibly move so much on your own! I am still capable of helping you carry them," Xiang Qingde was concerned that his grandson would wear himself out, as moving was indeed a laborious task.

Xiang Beifei expressed a bittersweet amusement: "Grandpa, why do I always feel like you’ve forgotten again that I’m a cultivator?"

"So what if you’re a cultivator? Many cultivators also have to hire people to move, don’t they?" Xiang Qingde replied.

Xiang Beifei stamped his foot once more, and all the packed boxes started to drift upward, floating in mid-air.

Lighter than a feather.

Lightening the mass of the objects, then lifting them all with Spiritual Power.

Xiang Qingde watched in amazement: "I had no idea you could do this!"

Xiang Beifei also realized that he seldom talked about his abilities with his grandfather. He smiled, set everything back down, then glanced at the surveillance camera on the ceiling and said, "Rest assured, from now on, I’ll handle everything. You just need to rest, Grandpa."

Xiang Qingde was stunned for a moment, staring blankly at Xiang Beifei.

Once upon a time, he had always been meticulously protective of his grandson, safeguarding his self-respect, teaching him to be aspirational, and hoping he wouldn’t give up on himself.

But ever since the Awakening had occurred, his grandson seemed to have changed into a different person, becoming diligent and cheerful. Now a cultivator in the Meridian Opening phase, he possessed the ability to protect himself.

It took Xiang Qingde a long time to come back to his senses; then he smiled, "The Awakening System truly is a wonderful thing."

He suddenly felt old and in need of protection from his grandson.

That was fine—as his grandson was so sensible, it made him happy just watching on.

Moving wasn’t a difficult task. Ordinary N-level Awakeners, if they didn’t have a corresponding spatial system, would need to hire a moving company, rent a vehicle, and spend a significant amount of money.

Xiang Beifei didn’t need to, as Xiaohei could create bubbles for that.

"Xiaofei is a big star now, we will all be relying on you in the future!" Kong Daming joked.

"Isn’t being a star very tiring? I heard they have to shoot all sorts of films every day," Lu Zhiwei said curiously.

"That won’t do! Xiaofei needs to practice cultivation," Lu Hong said earnestly. Unconsciously, he had started referring to Beifei as Xiaofei, because in his mind, Xiang Beifei was still a cultivator, who should prioritize cultivation.

Chen Xiuqin entered from outside and laughed, "I won’t lie to you, these past few days I don’t know how many calls I’ve received from economic companies. They know I’m acquainted with Xiaofei, and they keep asking about business activities, offering a lot of money to see if Xiaofei would be willing to sign with their companies."

"What did you say?" Kong Daming asked.

"Of course, I said we’d consider it. How could I decide on such a matter? We still need to ask Xiaofei’s opinion," Chen Xiuqin chuckled. She hadn’t agreed to any offers, but neither had she declined them outright, always leaving the choice open for Xiang Beifei.
